What is GPSR compliance documentation?
Looking for GPSR compliance documentation?
The General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 (GPSR) has applied since 13 December 2024 to consumer products placed on the EU market and in Northern Ireland. It requires manufacturers to place only safe products on the market, to carry out an internal risk analysis, to draw up technical documentation, and to make sure products carry information that lets them be identified and traced. Products from outside the EU need a responsible economic operator established in the EU. Where a product is covered by specific EU law, GPSR applies to the risks that law does not cover.
What your GPSR risk assessment covers
Product and use:
- Characteristics: Composition, design, packaging and instructions.
- Foreseeable use: Normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse.
- Consumers at risk: Children, older people and other vulnerable users.
Risks and controls:
- Hazards: Chemical, physical, fire and other relevant hazards.
- Controls: Warnings, design measures and instructions that reduce each risk.
Traceability:
- Identification: Type, batch or serial number on the product or packaging.
- Contact details: Manufacturer name, postal and electronic address, and the EU responsible economic operator.
- Online sales: The information Article 19 requires on distance-selling listings.

Frequently asked questions
Does GPSR apply to my product?
GPSR applies to non-food consumer products placed on the EU market or in Northern Ireland. Where specific EU law covers a product, such as the Cosmetics Regulation, GPSR applies to the risks that law does not cover.
What documents does GPSR require?
An internal risk analysis and technical documentation, kept for 10 years, plus labelling with a type, batch or serial number and the manufacturer's contact details.
Do I need an EU responsible economic operator?
Yes, if you sell into the EU from outside it. Article 16 requires an economic operator established in the EU, whose details appear on the product, packaging or accompanying document.
What do you need from me?
A product description, materials or composition, supplier safety data such as an SDS, photos of the product and label, and your manufacturer and EU contact details.
